I was there in his office getting chastised for dropping the ball yet again.

Like everyone on the chopping block acts, I tried to do a mind escape by zoning out as his words were hitting at my core.
And I was unhappy because of it. I never ever wanted to offend this man, yet here it seems what I didn't do FOR MYSELF was offending him.

Dr: Ojeagbase: Are you listening to me, Ron?
Ronald: Yes Sir.
Dr. Ojeagbase: What's wrong then? Why aren't you pulling your weight? Why aren't you teaching others what you know how to do? You know this topic, you have the skills and you know to sell.
What's the matter, Ronald?
Ronald: Yes Sir.

Ronald: Sir, what I do is make money online. I do not want to be yet another someone who makes more money by teaching others how to make money.
It seems kind of fraudulent to me.
Dr. Ojeagbase: *Laughs loudly*. What do Financial Standard and other investment newspapers do?

Ronald: They teach people how to invest and grow their money.
Dr. Ojeagbase: So do people say they make money by teaching people how to make money?
Ronald: No Sir.
Dr. Ojeagbase: And what business do they and other people say they are in?
Ronald: The Publishing business, Sir.

Dr. Ojeagbase: And what business are you in?
Ronald: I am in the information publishing business too Sir.
Dr. Ojeagbase: Then why are you worried about it?
You're in the same business Financial Standard, MoneyWise, BusinessDay and my newspaper, Complete Sports, are in.

They teach what they know. Heck, they don't even know most of it themselves, so they bring in experts to teach.
But here you are worried about also teaching something you know how to do very well.
Ronald: *crickets*
Dr. Ojeagbase: The problem is your mind. You are creating...

Dr. Ojeagbase: The problem is your mind. You are creating...
obstacles in your own mind to give yourself an excuse not to be the best you can be. When you do that, you stop you from having the best you can get.
Stop it Ron.
Ronald: Yes Sir.
Dr. Ojeagbase: I'll tell you why Financial Standard and MoneyWise are respected and you're not.

It's because they are properly structured as a real business. Right now, you're still running a one man show.
If you want to go big and respected in this business, then you must run it like a real business.
Register a company with the CAC and get a bank account for it.

Hire employees (when you need to) or hire virtual assistants. Have invoices, create a customer service structure. And stop trying to do everything all by yourself.
Ronald: Yes Sir.
Dr. SOOJ: So what are you going to do about it?
Ronald: I will make amends Sir.
Ronald: Yes Sir.

Dr. Oeagbase: Alright then, go and do what you have to do. You have a lot of potential. I'll hate to see you not maximize it.

"When you have spent the time, effort and money to learn something of value, it is a shame to not use it to better your life. It's a bigger shame not to use it to better the lives of other people.

know really well. Why would you do that? Go anoint yourself a guru. As long as you are an expert in any topic, go out and ANOINT YOURSELF A GURU. You have my permission."
